#where my fav repressed gay dude gets railed and also maybe re-analyses his relationship to his work but that's going to take forever so.

ahh One Day i'll make a big post about why the episode, reality, (amongst some others) genuinely make me think ichijou would be happier without his police job (which I'm aware is a real hot take) and based on some other stuff by extension, actually maybe would enjoy adventuring with godai... I understand it completely but I just don't fully jive with the interpretation I often see, that ichijou will always stay back and remain a cop because this is The Way It Has To Be etc. and godai will adventure and go off to his own world but return to him... i think he'd struggle with allowing it for himself (tbh. it's something he has to be dragged kicking and screaming away from, because he does THINK that it's The Way It Has To Be) he's so goddamn repressed but I don't think the whole duty-bound thing is good for him and I feel there's a sense of disillusionment that's going to hit when the ulf stuff is all wrapped up... like don't get me wrong he will Never Ever quit naturally and needs to be Heavily Influenced, but still, I think other things would be more fulfilling, at least a little bit even if not as a 100% of time thing... and there's lots more to this but articulating ideas hard.
